  1. But you are begging. Also, I'm getting Wili Clip vibes. 🤔
  2. If it was a friend looking for gaming worlds or to create highly interactive competitive games in-world, I would sooner recommend Roblox than SL since SL developers have shunned such content creation features since 2013. If it was a friend looking highly interactive e-sex/roleplay I would sooner recommend one of many popular downloadable eroge on Steam since SL developers have shunned evolving the 18 yo hard/static/non-procedural/non-IK asset-based animation protocol as well as shunned sound reform and scripted camera control reform for years. If it was a friend looking to stare at art exhibits for 5 - 10 minutes then forget about them, I'd recommend SL or Sansar. If it was a friend that wanted to spend $100 or more on an HQ looking complete avatar, stand around in clubs staring at other expensive avatars while no one says anything other than maybe IMing with "Hi. How are you?" followed by additional boring convo and/or propositioning, I'd recommend SL. If it was a friend that wanted their own region just to roleplay to themself, I'd recommend Opensim as land tier pricing in SL rivals that of RL car/housing rental fees. If it was a friend looking to hang out and chat, I'd recommend ANY platform that didn't lag their toaster to death. YMMV
  3. Seems they settled on this instead of making reviews and comments anonymous.
  4. That is a 30k prim Chung estate region. You're renting a 6128 sqm parcel at L$ 1687 a week. You also have over two weeks left on your rental time meter. You can tell your land lord to annul the rest of your time so a new tenant can claim the land. IDK if they allow selling land to others or if they would honor the time remaining with a new tenant. Best talk to the landlord first.
  5. World > Show Owned Land How were you planning on selling land without knowing where it was?
  6. I assume this is Mainland. Also, it might help to mention the total sqm instead of prims, since it is sqm that dictates tier fees. 3,000+ prims suggests 8738+ sqm of Mainland.
  7. They're not really focused on bug fixes ATM. They're focused on performance improvements. Sadly, the areas of improvement are a double edged sword. On one hand they will improve loading of alpha cut mesh heads/bodies but at the same time render the high texture area/complexity popups of shame a moot point or an annoyance, resulting in fewer users/creators taking heed of the information and caring about what they wear and/or how they created it. They do not have any major features planned, unless you call World Map tile changes or 360 Snapshot "major". I certainly do not. I call it milquetoast.
  8. There are several feature requests for OBJECT_REZ_TIME but nothing has been offered nor is planned to be offered any time soon.
  9. Just think where we'd be if repeated bad management decisions at Linden Lab actually lead to some kind of disciplinary action.
  10. Might as well go for the industry standard 8 second delay. Hand holding leads to sex, dugs and rock and roll so a sigh of relief there.
  11. How do they know they're traffic bots? Traffic bots typically hang around, not visit and leave.
  12. Can you comment on a review for a listing previously purchased? [EDIT] NVM, reread the OP.
  13. While I would agree on Erika, I wouldn't as much on Reborn, but it is still early for the latter.
  14. Aspiration should be done any/every/all times. To not do so is lazy and/or negligent.
  15. You should have put "Sansar" over the tree, but maybe a tree stump would have been more suitable. Maybe a "Grow! You can do it!" caption at the top, too.
  16. If they looked nearly as good as big name bodies and can wear big name body clothing, why have I only seen 1.2% of users wearing Ruth? I suspect that 1.2% will creep up a little with my next release at 250k samples. Maybe it will make it to 1.5%? 🤔
  17. Maybe LL should offer group notices in Guidebook format, a graphical interface modal with no close/minimize option in the top right corner. People will be sick to death of group notices then. 😆
  18. If they do go away, what would you like to see as an alternative/replacement?
  19. Replace the current attendance-only based calculation with either a search term matching method or a profile based, "I am looking for.." textbox terms matching relevance based method. With a search term based relevance method, whenever anyone uses web or legacy search, the search term string they use becomes "bound" to that user, similar to how a scripted AO is bound. Whenever the user enters a parcel that has Show in search active, if the search term bound to the user is found in the parcel's name or description, a traffic value for that term begins incrementing after the agent has been on the parcel for at least 1 minute and continues until either the agent leaves the parcel or uses web/legacy search with a new search term that is no longer found in the parcel's name or description. Whenever anyone else uses web or legacy search and searches with the same term, only the traffic total from everyone that actually visited the parcel with that term bound to them shows to the person doing the search as a "relevance traffic" score. These search term traffic "pools" keep track of each agent's start and end times as well as keep the last # hours of values alive for totals querying so current values can be referenced "live" instead of a 24 hour Pacific time with midnight cutoff value which currently leads to people going to places with no one around because the party/event happened the day before. Let's say a parcel has "sex afk roleplay" in its description. User A previously did a search for "sex". User previously did a search for "AFK". User C previously did a search for "sex". User D previously did a search for "puppies". All 4 visited the parcel. User A stayed for 11 minutes. User B stayed for 6 minutes. User C stayed for 6 minutes. User D stayed for 61 minutes. No one else visited the parcel in the last week. Afterwards, anyone using web/legacy search searching for "sex" would see the parcel listed with a relevance score of 15. Searching for "AFK" would show a relevance score of 5. The parcel would not be listed when searching for "puppies". The attendance score, when updated the next day, would show 84 and would be just as useless as it is now. How could land owners attempt to abuse this method? They could still log in a bunch of bots, but each bot would still only able to use one search term and each bot would have to use the same term that affects the most current and common/top search term(s) used by everyone else. They could ask everyone that shows up to change their search terms to a specific word, but they would maybe only be able to influence their regular customer base, but would they have much influence on strangers or non-regular visitors or would their regulars be sure to always change the desired search term back before visiting after previously doing searches for other places? Also, relevance traffic pool values are always in flux since user search term start/end times will always be entering/leaving them and the totals are not updated once every 24 hours. With an "I am looking for.." CSV terms matching relevance based method, include an "I am looking..." textbox in the user's profile in the Interests tab. The user puts keywords in the textbox in CSV format or space delimited. This textbox is not public to other users. Each term would be used to match terms in a parcel description as described above with single term searching. You do risk bots exploiting this more than with a single search term method. Physical visits by users are still used with either method to increase totals instead of number of web/http queries alone to prevent a bot network from spamming searches of any/all relevant terms. The above aims to keep traffic from being gamed and to make traffic a current/live representation of others searching for the same thing(s) and not a generic attendance record for the previous day.
  20. I think starter avatars should be good enough to engage in most commerce SL has to offer, but at the same time "encourage" users to spend some money on either hair, clothing or accessories that the starter avatar can wear or on a new head/body. Today, SL is more fashion focused than it was on the social building of yore. I think people will spend money on something regardless as they want to personalize their look and not look like everyone else. Also, even if a starter avatar looked and functioned stellar in all regards, you will still have the fashion police labeling people using them as "noobs" causing many to spend money on something else anyway. If starter avatars were so great that no one would spend money on their looks, we wouldn't have as many people using the platform to create content and since LL won't implement competitive gaming content creation features, idk what else people would bother spending money on recreationally.
